Frequently Asked Questions

  • The first session is focused on understanding you. We will review what brings you in, your goals for therapy, relevant history, and what you hope will change. You are not expected to “have it all figured out.” My role is to help clarify direction, establish safety, and begin identifying meaningful next steps. By the end of the session, we will have a clearer plan for moving forward.

  • The length of therapy varies depending on your goals, the complexity of concerns, and frequency of sessions. Some clients seek short-term, solution-focused work, while others engage in longer-term growth. We will regularly review progress and adjust the plan as needed. Therapy is collaborative and goal-oriented.

  • We only offer private pay options. We can provide Superbills for those looking to get reimbursed by their insurance using their Out of Network Benifit. For clients without insurance coverage, We offer limited sliding scale dependent on eligibility. If you are unsure about if you have an Out-Of-Network benefit, We can help guide you in verifying coverage. Eligibility for for sliding scale can be determined by a copy of your most recent Tax return.

  • Both. Therapy should feel safe, but it should also lead to growth. I provide empathy and support while also helping clients examine patterns, assumptions, and behaviors that may be contributing to distress. Change requires both validation and challenge.

  • My approach is active, collaborative, and goal-oriented. I integrate evidence-based methods such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness-based strategies, and relational frameworks. I am direct when helpful, supportive when needed, and focused on sustainable change rather than temporary relief.

  • I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, relational conflict, life transitions, grief, habit formation, and emotional regulation. I also provide support for leaders and those carrying significant responsibility who need a confidential space to process stress and decision-making.

  • Yes. Therapy is confidential with a few legally required exceptions, such as risk of harm to self or others, suspected abuse of a minor or vulnerable adult, or court orders. These limits are discussed in detail during intake.

  • Therapy can be helpful if you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relational conflict, stress, grief, life transitions, or simply feel “stuck.” You do not need to be in crisis to benefit. If your emotional or relational patterns are interfering with your peace, functioning, or relationships, therapy may provide the structure and support needed for change.

  • Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Depending on progress and needs, frequency may increase or decrease. The goal is to provide enough support to create momentum while encouraging independence over time.

  • I am a Christian, and my faith is personally important to me. For clients who desire it, I am comfortable incorporating Christian perspectives into therapy in a thoughtful and clinically appropriate way.

    However, therapy is always centered on you — your values, your goals, and your beliefs. I work with clients from diverse spiritual backgrounds, including those who are secular or hold different faith traditions. My personal faith does not direct your treatment. Our work will align with your desired direction and worldview.

    Faith integration is always client-led, never imposed.

  • Yes. Many of my clients are not religious. Therapy is not a place for persuasion or agenda — it is a space for clarity, growth, and emotional stability based on your values. Whether faith is central, peripheral, or not part of your life at all, our work will reflect your priorities.

  • If faith is important to you, we can thoughtfully integrate it into the therapeutic process. This may include exploring spiritual beliefs, discussing values, or incorporating prayer or Scripture if you request it. Integration is always collaborative and aligned with your comfort level.
